We need orders of magnitude more weapons.
We must restore the balance of power.
America's defense industrial base, which has helped to deter war and maintain peace for decades, has failed to keep pace and adapt with the times. It is being left behind by evolving great power threats, technological innovations in areas such as low-cost robotics and artificial intelligence, and a commercial manufacturing revolution that is enabling the hyper-scale production of everything from self-driving cars to reusable rockets to intelligent devices of all kinds. America and our allies increasingly lack the industrial capacity to deter—and, if necessary, fight and win—a great power conflict.
